I am having surgery on January 9th, I literally have to completely quit tomorrow. I am on the patch, but I keep cheating and taking one or two puffs every few hours. It only totals to maybe 2 cigarettes a day, but I need to be completely smoke free to go under the anesthesia. I know its easy to say, just don't do it, but I feel like I have no control, no willpower, no anything! I have been smoking 2 packs a day for 17 years. Do I have a chance?

yes yes yes you have a chance!!! I just quit 5 months ago and I couldn't feel better! my suggestion would be gum, cinnamon has been proven to curb the urges for not only the nicotine, but also food so you won't eat instead of smoking. Also, nicotine urges last on average 8-10 minutes-so if you can take a short walk, clean something, call a friend, just get your mind off the urge, it should pass by the time you have finished your task. Every urge you pass up is only going to make you stronger!! You CAN do it :)

Hi, First Of All There Is No Fast And Easy Way To Quit Smoking Right Away, If You Can Try This Control Your Self For 3 days How? Don't Go Out If You Do It, I Know Its Hard For First Day But If You Do It You Will Feel Better If You Do It Same Next Day Great, I Tell You On 3rd Day You Will Not Feel That You Want To Smoke But If You See Some One Smoking Don't Go For It, Than After 3rd Day You Will Feel Much Better. ( If You Smoke On Particular Time Like After Having Tea Or Lunch Than Try To Avoid Going Out That Time.) If You Don't Smoke That Time You Will Feel Having Some Thing So Have Some Thing To Eat. Do It I M Sure You Can Quit Smoking ( Control is Key ) Rajesh Soni.

Well I was smoking over 4 packs a day when I got up one morning, coughed my lungs out for 20 minutes, asked myself what was I doing to my body and then threw the pack of cigarettes in the garbage and haven't looked back since. You have to really really want to quit smoking to stop the habit. No cheating or saying you will quit tomorrow - just quit now and move on before you kill yourself.

Yes, you can do it. Go get hypnotized !!! I got hypnotised three years ago to quit smoking and haven't smoked since I left the office. I smoked on my way to the office and when I left, I didn't even have a craving for it. It can't hurt to try it. It only costs about 80.00 and takes less then an hour. Hope it works for you....

You need to quit cold turkey. It's all in your head! Every time you want a cigarette put a piece of gum in your mouth and you'll forget about the cigarette. That might be alot of gum, but would you rather have a little cavity or lung cancer? I'll take the cavity anyday. :o) You can do it! Do NOT cheat what so ever.

I am also a smoker. I don't think there is a fast easy way to quit. If there was, we would have no smokers.
